ALEX BOERNER/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS St. Lucie County canvassing board member County Judge Kathryn Nelson places a duplicated absentee ballot into a box designating it for counting Friday afternoon at the St Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office in Fort Pierce. The St. Lucie County canvassing board met Friday to decide whether to allow a recount of all the St. Lucie County early voting ballots.

She's the Canvassing Board member who was the dissenting vote in the 2-1 vote to have the recount.

“The recount, of all votes cast in early voting,not just those for District 18, was prompted by a state elections auditor finding a box of 306 early voting ballots Friday that never were counted. “

If the chain of custody has been broken then they should not be counted. Reading the comments by West. It sounds like the election people have even found a way to cheat on recounting ballots. Those ballots are so tainted by now that counting them does not mean anything anyway. The whole election would have to be run over under controlled conditions.
